Are the threads "open" enough to drain henna/tea mixes?

We use them as bath towels, and they have a pretty tight weave. But with that said, they are thin, so using them to drain liquid mixes might work.

They're not. You might want to look for cheese cloth instead. You'd lose a lot of color and moisture in these.

The holes are pretty small (about the size of the opening on a click pen, if that helps?), but dust and smaller bits of tea would get into the water. If it was whole tea leaves I would say it would work, but not loose leaf unfortunately. I haven't really experimented much past lemon slices.

I have an old towel (I wrap my hair for 45 minutes). And years ago, zi went to Sally's Beauty Supply and picked up a "color" brush to apply the henna. I also purchased a plastic dye bowl that came with a brush and that has been very useful -better than an old cereal bowl.

if the ties aren't tight on the hose they do come loose and have to pull back up other than that don't see a problem. They look like tube socks. hope this helps. i wish i would have gotten then a long time ago it would have saved clogged drains!

Definitely not. And they do drip from the spout when you pour so you need to have a cloth under them to soak up the tea.

Yes, but I had a hard time getting mine to not leak. I recommend putting teflon paste on the threads

Yes! The holes a fine, but it is definitely meant for tea. Coffee and some herbal infusions might have some issues. I haven't brewed rooibos or chamomile in it loose, and I would expect to see a little sediment from something very fine like that. It's very sturdy and awesome for tea though.

They're pinprick holes. I can run some lightweight fishing line or a small needle through one of the holes but my standard size safety pins and thumbtacks wont fit. I've not tried powdered tea and to be honest I'm not sure how fine the powder is but this is one of the finest strainers I've run into.

Twist on. You need to line up the threads carefully, though. If you rush and force it, it will leak.

Sorry, I can't be more exact. My house is an older one and I can't see any threads but the drain opening itself is about 2" but the overall size of the drain is 3". It looks to me as if it was a drop in with putty as the anchoring agent. Hope this is of some help.

Ideally they are rinsed right after use. I found that just running water through them isn't really sufficient though, so blowing air through them repeatedly to force out the extra is helpful. If it's already dry, try soaking the tips in water or vinegar to soften and break up the henna first.

The container we have must be much like yours; the neck is less than a half inch high. We have had no problem. The threads on the pump go all the way to the open end.

This alone won't help. It is mainly for adding to compost. I would try putting a screen over the intakes of your drains to keep the needles out completely.

Doubtful. I'd wrap some a filter media bag or filter fabric around the standpipe and put a rubber band to see if that works first. There's also a chance that adding material would slow down the flow of the water, which could damage your equipment. Do not take your chances with panty hose as the dye can run with disastrous results (been there, done that).

There is a threaded hole. I use a Skil buffer so not sure of the size match up

Theoretically, yes. You could conceivably string something through the drain hole at the far tip.

You have about a half inch of thread going into the faucet. more than enough
